when i had a subscription, it was always late or wouldnt show up at all.
the deli down the road started getting a couple. i asked them to save me one every week and it is there every thursday morning.
apparently they get them from a news distributor and dont rely on the USPS.

I don't know why we didn't get ours this week, but I can address the question about why in the past, USPS delivery of the paper was delayed a few days each week. The main post office that serves AARN for bulk mailings was closed as part of that Anthrax in the mail deal several years ago. All bulk mail had to be picked up and routed a further distance which threw a few days extra into the delivery time. I believe the post office was cleaned up, decontaminated and finally re-opened last year which made the delivery a little faster.

pauch won opening night, second to hearn the second night after a 15 lap battle that came down to the final turn, and fourth last night.
he is currently leading the points by four over hearn.
not too bad for a guy they say cant race away from his home track.

I also get mine every Thursday, but did not receive last weeks until today. In case anyone didn't get theirs yet, Ernie Saxson complains a lot in his column this week and there are a ton of typos and sentences that don't make sense.
